Quetzenkel is a constitutional monarchy, constructed in a somewhat similar fashion to that of the Government of Urcea. Per the Constitution of 2016, the King of Quetzenkel is to normally refrain from involvement in the day-to-day affairs of the Kingdom except in periods of national emergency, in which case the King is to act as chief executive with some limitations on his authority; such an emergency state has existed since the issuance of the Constitution. The Kingdom's laws are created by the Royal Legislature, which is comprised of an upper chamber - the All-Tribal Assembly - and a lower chamber, the National Assembly. The All-Tribal Assembly has retained its historical role within the Kingdom, regulating the relations between the various tribal kinship groups within the Kingdom, as it has since 1813. The All-Tribal Assembly features equal representation of the 25 over-tribes of the Kingdom, and it holds relatively limited legislative authority, approving changes to the Tribal Law and approving trade and migration agreements with Quetzenkel's neighbors, similar to the Gildertach in Urcea. Unlike the Gildertach, the All-Tribal Council retains its traditional role as the court of final appeal, making it the de facto head of the judicial branch within the Kingdom. The National Assembly, the lower chamber, is the primary legislative body. The National Assembly is comprised of partisan members who vote to elect a Chancellor, who serves as the head of government.

Unlike the Gildertach, the All-Tribal Council retains its traditional role as the court of final appeal, making it the de facto head of the judicial branch within the Kingdom. The National Assembly, the lower chamber, is the primary legislative body. The National Assembly is comprised of 93 Assemblymembers elected in distinct electoral districts apportioned every ten years. The Assembly is led by the Chancellor, who serves as the head of government, and who is elected by a majority of the Assembly.
 
Since the establishment of the Kingdom and separation of its western half, Quetzenkel has been divided into ten departments and the "Royal District" surrounding the capital city of Akwesasne. Prior to the establishment of the Kingdom, Quetzenkel was divided into forty-five Lesser Chiefdoms; these are still reflected in the titles of the King of Quetzenkel as "Lord of the Forty Five". The Kingdom, as originally configured, included eight departments, with two being added: one from the [[Cetsencalia]] retrocession and one from lands given to Quetzenkel from [[Varshan]] at the end of the [[Final War of the Deluge]].
